Proverbs 23:6-8
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
6 Do not eat the bread of the stingy;
do not desire their delicacies,(A)
7 for like a hair in the throat, so are they.[a]
“Eat and drink!” they say to you,
but they do not mean it.(B)
8 You will vomit up the little you have eaten,
and you will waste your pleasant words.
